Funding combines PAC checks and modeled super PAC support from covered 2020–2026 election runs. It may have arrived after the vote. “With industry” is the editorially assigned industry position; unavailable finance coverage is excluded. Below $10K means less was traced, not that no funding existed. See About the data.
